About Corinne:

Not everyone is lucky enough to know what they want to do from a young age – but Corinne Cumming fell in love with photography as a teenager. After spending her student loans on camera equipment and shooting small gigs and club nights, she then started working for the likes of Punktastic, Bring The Noise, Upset, Dork and more. Her big break came when Corinne started working with Rock Sound, for whom she has shot many internationally sold magazine covers. In terms of what she loves to do most: working at festivals is easily one of her favourite things to do – the buzz of running around from stage to stage, shooting bands big and small, the well-earned exhaustion at the end of the night and then waking up and doing it all again the following day. She also loves shooting drag shows, working with many of the acts from Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK. At the age of 28, Corinne became Head of Photography at The Eurovision Song Contest having gotten the first year under her belt at Turin 2022 and Junior Eurovision, Armenia 2022.
In November 2017, Corinne opened Hot Dog Studios (complete with an adorable Dachshund called Cecil.) The studio is in Hackney Wick and is available for hire, providing a homely environment where people can feel comfortable and get the high-quality shots that they need. A talented, versatile photographer, Corinne is equally at home shooting rock bands in a venue, battling with the mud at a festival, getting stunning shots of a cabaret show or in the studio creating beautiful imagery for brands and drag artists.
